Excellent.
However, this writer scares me. Me thinks she is too smart to be a real liberal.
She's the wife of an attorney at my office. They both clerked for Judge Alito.
What's scary is that if she is right, Bush has wasted a Supreme Court appointment on someone who will not work to change the disaster that is Supreme Court jurisprudence.
I wouldn't be scared; she's not that bright, just honest. She even admits:
"In all candor, I expect that if I did not know Judge Alito, I may have responded to the nomination with the same distrust, fear and suspicion with which I usually respond to everything the Bush administration does..."
In other words..."Bush is evil. Normally all his decisions are evil, but this decision was good since I know and understand the rationale behind it. Bush may make additional decisions in the future which I can personally relate to, and therefore, will also be good, but until then, anything else he does which I don't understand will continue to be evil."
Typical liberal self-centeredness.
Maybe she's young yet -- this may be an opportunity for her to see what her liberal friends are really like.
